Is there a combination to move the boards out and forward without cutting the lowers?

Indy's kit moves everything forward 2". The MoCo has a Forward Reach Rider Footboard Kit #50409-04 that moves the position forward about 3/4" . It is just a pan replacement kit. There is no lower modification with this kit.

I made my own 1" oness and I love them. I did scrape my boards more till I raised the front of the boards to the top hole, they don't scrape as bad now.

I have the 3/4" and they are fine, can't say they feel any differant than stock so I can't say another 1/2" will add any more comfert either. Basically I'm saying they are a waste of money!

I used the 1" on my last 2 bikes. I am much more comfortable with the extensions. My knee does lean up against the air cleaner. My right foot is further away from the exhaust pipe. They work for me.

I installed the Soos 1" extenders on my RK. The floorboards don't look different, no scraping issues, but, they feel much better when riding.

Thanks for all the responses. I think this will be my next upgrade.

When I had my Softail Fat Boy I did the Harley Goodies extentions and they were about 1 1/2", I loved them.

So I bought the Touring model and they ened up being only 7/8". I would definately do the 1" ones.
Unlike my wife's a$$, wider is better.

anyone ever try the Kuryakyn relocators (#4588)???? I have been leaning towards these but would like some feedback first. I'm 6'3" and any extra comfort I can get would be great!

I've used the 3/4" on my old Road King and liked the feel. I ordered Soos's 3/4" set for my Ultra. My foot isn't hanging off the edge of the floorboard, so I don't need the extra 1/4" I would get with the 1".
